Great video, welcome back.
Every time I see the overhead bird’s eye view shots, I remember what the place looked like when they first started digging the foundation! The change is so dramatic. And you have been there cataloguing it all for us. Thank you for that 🙏
Lined pond will be an emergency water reserve for the air-water heat exchanger with giant fans – unless Tesla is going the evaporative cooling route and will use filtered storm water in the evaporative cooler.
Wow!! The the external unit really does look like an evaporative cooler.
Joe, it appears to me Tesla has placed offices and canteens next to factory areas so all workers for an activity are co-located – a very good innovation and performance strategy.
In the east side of the new south end, it appears a chiller plant is being built for for the AI centre.
Joe, you have reported that the new heat exchangers in the middle of the Austin plant are for a data centre – perhaps for general corporate activities excluding AI. AI Chiller plant will be a water-water cooler and the plant with the huge fans outside will be an a water-air heat exchanger. Inside will be a high purity closed loop, and outside a normal but large water-air heat exchanger. It should not be an evaporative cooler due to the cost of water.
Perhaps the corporate HQ is moving to the south end. But I also believe a design/engineering studio is going in the south end because offices and canteens will stay with their functional areas.
The design and engineering studios in California will stay. With additional models, Tesla needs aditional space for design and engineering.
The main entrance will stay as the visitor centre for factory tours and shareholder meetings. Don't want large numbers of people wandering around the south end.
Elon needs high security space, another reason for corporate HQ to move to the south end. Like most dads with young kids, Elon needs to base himself somewhere. Austin better for the wife and kids than Brownsville.
Elon has inspired great teams, can reduce travel.
Why is the superstructure made of fibre reinforced plastic pipes? Are they running water through these pipes?
Hello Joe, I Know you said you had an early start, But in the end the video dose look amazing see as much of the activity as we did. Thank you si much for the early start.
I wouldn’t be surprised if those four large tanks didn’t hold Glycol (not water) which is commonly used in chiller type cooling systems. It is probably a closed system so there wouldn’t be any “waste water"
They, TBC, may not have enough Prufrock spares back at the factory so don't want to risk another dig. Is there a word for half a tunnel (UK)?
Your musical choice is really good today…:)
17:12 "with all these people working inside" … 'squeezeme', no one is there! I'm all in on Tesla, but, come on! 😮
What are the odds of the openings at ground level on the far south and are air intakes for the computers? I don't know why this would warrant piles but.. 🤷♂️
Maravilha de documentário está muito adiantado não no aguardo dos próximos
Love the inside views
I wonder if the boring machine has achieved the pace of a snail yet ?
Imma be honest, the offices were just a bunch of tables in a giant room. If you let one rip super loud, everyone in the entire building is going to hear you. make sure you point at your neighbor and laugh if you do.
Love the music today!
One thing that has always struck me as slightly odd, awkward even, is the orientation of the finishing facility layout. Given the direction the vehicles have to travel from, it seems rather clunky to have to go right to the other end to enter as opposed to the other way around. 'Couch cowgirl pundit' as I am, 🤪🤪, I would've thought it more logical to have located the building much closer to where the Boring Tunnel is so that vehicles can enter in a streamlined fashion, be finished, exit straight into either the Supercharger stations or right on over to either the holding lot or departure parking lot. Just struck me as something of an oddity; must be a good reason/s for this particular layout location.
Joe what are the 3 tunnels for? Any ideas?
That lined pond is very interesting. It of course most probably has some industrial application, but as the large preexisting pond has been reshaped and the landscaping around new parking garage is taking place, I wonder if the new pond might belong to some of the long planned decorative landscaping scheme that hasn't been referred to in quite some time. Lining it would help retain the water much better given the porous nature of the site's soils.
I love that the trees transplanted at the cathode plant have survived. They look great!
